48 USING SkyHD
TAKING CONTROL
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Connecting to the mains supply
Your SkyHD box operates with 230V AC, 50 Hz mains supply. Do not connect it to a DC power supply.
On some models, the supplied mains lead has a two-way connector at one end and a mains plug at the other. Insert the two-way connector into
your SkyHD box before you insert the plug into the mains supply.
The only way to disconnect your SkyHD box from the mains is to take the plug out of the socket. Your SkyHD box must therefore be installed near
the mains socket outlet, which should be easily accessible.
If you are in any doubt about anything relating to the mains supply, consult a competent electrician.
Electrical information
Mains plug and its fuse
The supplied mains plug may be a non-rewireable type or a rewireable type. Both types contain an
approved 3A fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use an ASTA- or BSI-approved BS 1362 fuse, rated
at 3A and marked with either of these symbols.
Non-rewireable plugs have the fuse beneath a fuse cover on the plug face. Use a screwdriver to lever
off the fuse cover, replace the fuse with a new one and refit its cover. Never use a plug if its fuse
cover is missing.
Rewireable plugs have the fuse inside. Use a screwdriver to remove the plug’s back cover, then lever
out the fuse and replace it with a new one. Replace the plug’s back cover.
If the supplied mains plug is not suitable for your mains socket outlet, remove its fuse and then cut
the plug off the lead. Destroy the severed plug immediately to avoid the shock hazard that would
exist if this were to be plugged into a mains socket. Do not attempt to repair or modify the mains
lead or plug. Fit an appropriate mains plug on the lead. If this plug contains a fuse, it should be as
described above. If you are using a non-fused plug, an external fuse must not exceed 5A.
